AHEAD OF THE CURVE - Monsters of Folk

Song: Ahead Of The Curve
Artist: Monsters of Folk
Tabbed by: UsingThisName
Capo on the 2nd fret
This is a simple song to play. The rhythm and timing are very intuitive, and can
be easily figured out by listening to the song.
The verses and choruses are played the same way every time. I fully laid out the
first verse as an example, and for the second verse I only included the chords to
give a succinct visual.
I apologies if I overcomplicated anything.
Enjoy!

I got happiness that I can't maintain so beginner's luck
GEm
I had shoes to fill
GEm
walkin' barefoot now.
GEm
Can't tell north from south
CD
but no split hairs gonna get me down.
CHORUS
CG
I'm stayin' above the flat line
CG
I'm ahead of the curve.
CG
Take a piece of the sunshine with me
AmD
on a red eye to another world
CG
It isn't any trouble
CG
if you wanna come with me.
CG
I know it's out of the question, honey
AmD
but I sure could use the company
C
and a place to be. G
VERSE
Now the sky is pink
rooftop swimmin' pool.
I'm not care free, no
I'm free to care
I just never do.
All the bags are checked
and the reasons why.
Yesterday lingers on
that's the peace you can keep when you say goodbye.
CHORUS
You can get what you want now
knock it out of the park.
Bury it by the river
Easy, there's a search party but it's gettin' dark.
I won't hold you to nothin'
I wanna make that plane.
Probably end up a stranger, crazy
buy I'm still hoping there's another way
and a place to stay
BRIDGE
EmDCG
What a scene has got you sentimental
CAmD
when the night comes, when the night comes loose.
EmDCG
All the things you've put up on the mantle
CAm
what a shame. What a shame.
D
It's old news
CHORUS
I'm stayin' above the flat line
I'm ahead of the curve.
Take a piece of the sunshine with me
on an all night drive to another world
You can get what you want now
knock it out of the park.
Probably end up a drifter, lonely
but I'm still hoping for a change of heart
and a place to start.
